Vermont Act 250 delays and costs draw criticism from builders and planners
Developers complain Act 250 adds about 10 percent to project costs with permits up to 3900 dollars plus subdivision fees, delays up to 60 days, and duplicate filings. Vermont regional planning commissions say they bear rising costs while state agencies clash, as consolidation moves aim to speed permit processing under the Water Resources Department.

New England Bicentennial transport plans urged for 1975 76
A Boston transport expert urged a transit based strategy to handle millions of visitors, proposing joint bus and rail links, portal parking sites, and a Rhode Island hub. Vermont and Maine proposals emphasize low density, satellite parking, and minimized bottlenecks. Massachusetts looks at targeted funding, while broader criticism notes complex laws and administrative hurdles in Vermont. The conference also included a Vermont environmental budget update and a Bennington College talk on a plant growth film.
